csa3d:

I recall somone saying they used a Bic Pen, and they took the pen apart, then cut the white hollow shaft into 4 equal sections.. long screws through the standard motherboard mounting holes, using the pen pieces as standoffs.

Try searching for that, it's on these boards somewhere.

MrMojoZ:

You can put the switch wherever you like, just use longer wires.

leapinlew:

leave it in the case and put the whole thing inside the cabinet.

You still need a switch to turn your pc on.  You can use a normal arcade button if you choose.  I have seen people use these and hide the out of sight eg on top of the cab or on the back.

I have my pc boards mounted on feet inside the cab.  I got my feet from ultimarc.  Check out their website.

The feet are really cheap and neaten things up.  Without a big PC case inside the cab you can still (at times) have things like coin catchers ets.  Keeping things more authentic.
